Shout-out to BMS Reid House students and staff who hosted their Military Appreciation Breakfast yesterday as part of their spring expedition. The students did an amazing job hosting, listening and learning from veterans and active military duty.
March is MUSIC IN OUR SCHOOLS MONTH and on Monday, March 24th RSU1 Pre-K, Kindergarten, and first grade students took an exciting field trip to the Montgomery Theater at Morse High school to experience a Portland Symphoy Orchestra KinderKonzert! KinderKonzerts are small ensemble performances (woodwind quintet, brass quintet, string quintet, or percussion ensemble) that use storytelling to provide an introduction to music and orchestral instruments. The brass quintet from the PSO performed the Robert McCloskey classic, Burt Dow, Deep Water Man. Students were excited to hear the beautiful music, and to experience the familiar story in a new way.
Don't forget to tune in tomorrow at 8:30 pm to watch Morse vs. Orono on the High School Quiz Show: Maine! GO SHIPBUILDERS!
